Could elaborate on how vacuum "seems to mess up" your views? What
are you doing, what are you expecting to happen, and what actually
does happen?
I am not sure. Somehow my views were destroyed. I have a Work Order table, and a Resources table (many Resources to one Work Order). These tables are joined by the Work Order number into a View, which I call ActiveWOs. I have a print module that prints from this view.
The print module worked, then all of a sudden stopped working. It caused a crash in my system which required me to reconnect to PGS, and maybe also to shut down the server and restart it.
The only thing I remember doing to this was use a vacuum procedure in a backup utility I am writing.
When I rebuilt the views (with a program), everything is back to normal and the Work Orders print ok.
I am using Object Rexx to interface eCS with PGS.
I am trying to trace down the culprit.
Can I be sure that if I delete some records from some tables, then vacuum the database, that views involving those tables are preserved?
